What we are really looking for here is a trend.
Are GOP held seats winning by larger or smaller margins?
The answer is clear.
The GOP barely hung onto these two seats.
Before plucking someone from Congress, Presidents worry there is a chance the district flips to the other party. Any flip would be seen as a clear sign of weakness. Hence safe seats are selected.
Do those two seats look today as if they were safe?
So who's gonna be the first lib to claim this is a "moral victory" because they got so close to taking a Republican stronghold seat?

That doesn't make the polls themselves "fake". Have any of you taken a statistics course to understand verifiable methodology and results? Then again, your idea of logical reasoning is "duh", so never mind.
I'm following the live discussion by political NYT reporters on their site. Fascinating - mostly in the excuse making - but it does show both their partisan bent and thought processes. Already claiming it was character attacks and Ossoff was too moderate as rationale for him losing. Hmm - they're so off their rocker - if you're going to try and flip a red district, being far left liberal is not a winning strategy but hey, I encourage the Democrats to run with that strategy, lol.
There is roughly 80% that will vote for the two main parties no matter who runs. There is now a growing number of people who want an alternative to the (R)'s.
I'm not sure it's as important in this race as this seems to be a pretty conservative area BUT the (D)'s are going to have to run people who are not (R)'s with a couple social differences or they will continue to lose.

Wow, it didn't even take one minute:

Hardly.
LOL, this "victory" was supposed to be the proof in the pudding that even Republican voters are turning against Trump. Sure enough when that didn't pan out, y'all trot out the well-worn backpedal you used after all the other special election results came in.
Sorry, nobody's buying it. When the Democrats have to focus on 450 Congressional races instead of one and they can't outspend the opposition 2 or 3 or 4 to 1, these seats will be safe again.
It is a historical loss too. Most expensive congressional race ever. Just like Hillary and her billion bucks.
